it's fun, but I wish there was a way to speed up vehicles. maybe there is, I haven't unlocked all the commands yet. I called it a night after I got my arse handed to me on the second half of the second map, right after you get the probe. the way I read the map I thought it showed which direction the turrets would fire in, and was dismayed when the ones I thought could only face north swiveled 180 degrees and proceeded to wipe out my troops as they were surrounded.

Two things I can tell that are going to get old (unless something changes):

1) the rifts that appear when trying to follow the most obvious route.2) the attacks from the air. right now there is no way to avoid them and they feel like they are in there to do just enough damage to make you use up repair packs.

oh, and whatever happened to normal difficulty? there's casual, advanced and one other higher setting. is casual the new normal?

Those "air attacks" are your supply drops. They leave behind more repair packs.

So besides this random air attack thing, how are you guys liking the game so far? I need more impressions to push me over the edge.

I'm on mission 10 so I have a reasonable idea of the game. The first level Bagdad (up to level 6) was a lot of fun, relatively straight forward and not to much strategy except at the end. Tokyo is a different matter missions are way bigger and they add triggers into the pot so if I trigger a sentry gun then further down the way a timer starts ticking.

However its great fun, certainly easily worth the price of admission and the story whilst not A+++ level is good. I'll be getting any dlc that comes out on this title. My only bug bear is you can't save part way in a mission so whilst I am playing you can restart to the previous check point but if I need to leave I have to redo the mission. But its not a huge issue for me as I am enjoying replaying the missions

I guess I never ran across this thread. I've been playing this on iMac for 6 months on and off and it is great fun. Difficult as you progress though, as it should.. I liked it do much I got it for iPhone as well when it was on sale awhile back. Pretty kick ass game, with pretty kickass graphics!

OK, apparently that was the Euro release, the NA release is coming 9-11.

I got my money's worth out of it, but never made it all the way through.

Enjoying this on PSN (free with plus now), but only just made it to Tokyo so the game hasn't fully taken off. Was also playing on casual :-P. Expecting it to start ramping up soon or I'll switch difficulty levels.
